Vision
Forbes Preschool is a holistic hub for children and families to give them the best start in life.
Mission
We will achieve our vision by providing quality, inclusive play based early education in partnership with other providers and the broader community. Our holistic approach is shaped by a multi-disciplinary model with embedded teamwork.
Underpinning all we do is:
Equality
valuing and respecting the individual
Wellbeing
everyone is safe, happy, and healthy
Learning
we are a community of learners
Inclusive Education
everyone is welcome and belongs
The preschool operates three classrooms and has space for therapy and community partners.
Our preschool is committed to the NSW Start Strong initiative.
Our Rooms
The room names are Wiradjuri words that have meaning to our programs:
Gindaymanha (gin–day-marna)– means to play/have fun
Yalbilinya (yal-bil-in-ya) – means to learn
Bubadyang (bubba-jung) – means little
Girinya – means to play
At first these names might look quite difficult to pronounce, once you say them a few times they are not hard at all – and you know what? The kids pick them up much quicker than we do!
“The Forbes Community is extremely lucky to have Forbes Preschool and the warm and welcoming environment it provides to children before entering school life. The staff are friendly and make learning fun. My son loves being creative and I feel he can really explore his individuality as well as socialise with other children.
We could not be anymore in love with Forbes Preschool. ”
